Deadline for Views, Verges, Buildings and Land Extended
Thank you, we have received some great input so far and have therefore decided to extend the deadline for input until the end of August. Once the information is in we will be holding online votes to test the popularity of the suggested input and identify “iconic” items.
1. Scenic views that you would like preserved.
Is there a parish view that you are particularly fond of, consider iconic and would not like to see spoiled? Submit a photo with GPS co-ordinates (if you use a mobile phone with location set to ‘On’ your position will automatically be recorded with the photo, or find your position on Google maps) and background information such as which direction you were facing. We will plot them on a map and include the most popular in our plan. Views must be of the parish (but can be taken from outside the parish).
2. Features and/or amenities you would like protected.
Is there a parish green space, woodland, building, tree, biodiverse verge etc. that you would want to see protected against development? Submit a photo with GPS co-ordinates (for a mobile phone set location to ‘On’ as above) and background information such as which direction you were facing. We will plot them on a map and include the most popular in our plan. Features and amenities must be inside the parish.
3. What size of housing development would you consider appropriate?
What would you consider to be an appropriate size of housing development across the parish? Does this vary by settlement? E.g. In Walford and Coughton along the B4243 11-20 might be acceptable, but for other areas 6-10 may seem large. Select from the following site sizes in your response and submit your thoughts by email:
1-5 6-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 41+
Send your photos and information to: info@walford-ndp.co.uk by 31st August 2020
Please note that by submitting your photos you are agreeing that they may be used in a parish calendar in the future.
Don’t forget to send us your photos and preferences by 31st July!

Walford Parish NDP Potential Development Sites Map As At 31st March 2020
Click on the image to open an enlarged map
- The map of NDP sites offered shows all of the sites that have been offered by landowners up to the deadline of 31st March 2020.
- These sites have not been fully assessed for suitability for housing and therefore do not represent sites that can be built on.
- Over the summer we will be having an independent assessment of all sites to determine which of them meets the needs in terms of suitability and numbers of houses required within our NDP.
- After this we will be presenting the results to the parish in public meetings to gather feedback before including them in the draft NDP to be presented to Herefordshire council.
- It is important to realise that any site, even if considered suitable, will need to go through the the normal planning approval process with Herefordshire Council who can grant or refuse permission even if we have included it in our housing plan.
